I?m a 23 years old male & for the past 2 months i?ve been having itches around my body and on my penis. The itching pleases further the more you scratch on it and i?m having lumps grow around the tip and lower part of my penis. I also experience the itching on my back and my lower abdomen. I?ve treated syphilis but no changes yet & it keeps getting worse. I?ve done blood culture test and it came back saying there?s no bacteria in my blood.

Hello- oral sex is not safe sex. It may be ?safer sex? than genital sex without a condom, in that you won?t get pregnant from oral sex alone, but oral sex without a condom still carries the significant risk of catching or passing on sexually transmitted infections (stis). Because oral sex usually involves sucking or licking your partner?s genitals or anus, you?re likely to come into contact with genital fluids or faeces and this puts you at risk of many stis. Generally, you?re more at risk of catching an sti from oral sex if: you give rather than receive oral sex ? because you?re more likely to be exposed to genital fluids you have cuts, sores or ulcers in your mouth at the time you don?t use protection. Another risk of oral sex is strain on your relationship, particularly if one of you doesn?t enjoy it or has concerns about it. One partner may have anxiety about their oral sexual performance or what their partner will think of them during oral sex. Or oral sex may make one partner feel under the other partner?s control. These are all important issues to resolve before introducing oral sex into your relationship.
